About this episode
Filmmaker Alexandre Aja (HIGH TENSION, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, PIRANHA 3D, HORNS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career path in this phenomenal conversation that was long, long overdue. From how Alex broke in… to hurdles in post-production… to dealing with the MPAA… to the pressures that come with remaking a film… to making crucial career choices in an industry where certainty doesn't exist… this conversation between three colleagues from the same generation of filmmakers is one that you've likely been waiting for ever since this podcast started. (It's an episode that we've certainly been anxious to make happen for over 5 years now!) Dr. Arwen prescribes advice on how to manage co-worker relationships while still doing what is best for YOU, our beloved Patreon supporters get an extended "Viewer Mail" segment because we love them, and the guys enjoy their last few nights of sleep before this weekend's 3rd annual 48-hour LIVE marathon to save the Yorkies.
